BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention

Implementations of various methods and systems to transform navigation routes with two waypoints, a destination waypoint, or a series sequence of waypoints into objects which have associated price-time priority queues for transformed transportation units are disclosed herein. The present disclosed invention relates to combining the concepts of objected oriented programming, market price-time priority queues, navigation systems, social networking, transportation as a fungible asset class, or transportation as an open market. Each day we find ourselves driving down a road with hundreds, thousands, or maybe even millions of vehicles and people around us. The route or road between two waypoints may be our commute to work, it may be an errand, it may be a route to school, it may be a route to the gym, or it may be a route to a friend's house. It could even be a single destination waypoint or a plurality of other connected waypoint origin and waypoint destination points. The present disclosed invention transforms these routes with one destination waypoint or two or more waypoints into objects which may then be further transformed into communities. Prior to the disclosed invention, community was thought of as a school, church, workplace, university, neighborhood, or other mechanisms that are generally “non-transient”. Communities tend to be defined by static places. More recently, the concept of virtual communities has developed with examples that may range from a Twitter hashtag that would form a virtual subject community around a topic such as #SuperBowl, #MartinLutherKing, #baby, or many other topics. Theglobe.com, MySpace, Facebook, or many others have also developed virtual communities around many topics. Waze has contributed to making a virtual community of drivers that help identify road hazards, traffic accidents, gas prices, map chat, map issues, lane closures, or many other features to outsmart traffic together as a community. Waze has even attempted to combine carpooling features in their carpooling application and associated intellectual property. Methods and systems of ride matching systems do little more than match rides. They are deficient in the areas of transforming transportation objects or units into fungible commodities, transforming routes into communities, or providing data transformations to form price-time priority queues around transformed transportation units. Yet with all these innovations, and because of many method and system deficiencies, traffic congestion remains at all-time highs, city budgets are strained and air pollution grows each and every day. The reason that traffic congestion continues to grow and cities remain under increasing stress from transportation issues is because the former methods are inadequate, incomplete or completely deficient. While former systems may have been incrementally useful, they do not place a cost or an economic value to the routing methods which causes very inefficient behavior. Further, no invention has previously existed that transforms a route between two or more waypoints, or even a single waypoint, into a community object. We reason that the invention of a route community platform between waypoints or a single waypoint destination has never existed is because people reason they are isolated in vehicles, and there is no mechanism that pools all the riders and drivers on a given route between two waypoints or a relevant single waypoint destination. In our research, we have seen elementary forms of electronic bulletin boards for rides on routes on Craigslist, Facebook, or even Waze, but these systems are disorganized, they do not provide firm service, they suffer from massive discrimination issues because of picture based ride selection, and lack any meaningful structure. Other newer companies have proposed carpooling from your Facebook group, but the structure and overlap of routes of network friend structures do not have the critical mass or necessary data transformations for a market to develop. Quite often, a rider will ask for a ride between two waypoints on Craigslist or Facebook, but the virtual carpool community is a general community, not a specific community with transformed data structures. Therefore, no value is added, and the benefit of time and economic purpose are low. Most often, ride requests or offers are left unfilled because the community has generally been defined around carpooling. Further, carpooling as a method has lacked efficiency since its invention because the rides are not substitutable. After considering the effects of non-substitutability of traditional carpooling, the activity is actually not economic for most people because of the time problems due to lack of substitutability. While U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/877,393, “Electronic Forward Market Exchange for Transportation Seats and Capacity in Transportation Spaces and Vehicles,” filed Jan. 23, 2018, solves the problem of carpool substitutability by completing substantial data transformations for transportation units by creating a method for a new data transformation and entirely new asset of a transformed transportation units which makes people fully fungible or exchangeable, further deficiencies exist because people generally think of themselves as not carpoolers or carpoolers and the amount of people who consider themselves carpoolers is generally very small. Further the purpose of such a community may also be lacking because there is potentially no economic benefit, the pools are so small, or the pools don't match rider or driver routes. Further transportation systems have generally assumed transportation is a personalized good (carpooling and branded transportation network companies) rather than a commodity that is substitutable. In the United States, 85% of all vehicles ride with a single passenger in the vehicle, which is a tremendously inefficient use of energy and causes high levels of traffic congestion. While carpools have existed for many decades, they are largely not utilized by a majority of the population because the time involved to coordinate schedules outweighs the benefit of cost savings and reduced energy use. Mobile networks have allowed for the rise of transportation network companies that promote hired drivers, but the cost of these systems has continued to be expensive for the majority of the public which has held back wide scale adoption. It has also been proven that transportation network companies have increased traffic and pollution (Fitzsimmons, E., “Uber Hit With Cap as New York City Takes Lead in Crackdown Further, transportation companies.”, Aug. 8, 2018, https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/08/nyregion/uber-vote-city-council-cap.html), rather than reduce traffic and pollution, due to incorrect and inefficient methods and systems. Transportation network companies have created systems which allow a given company to set the prices of transportation capacity rather than an open transparent marketplace. Often, transportation network companies even provide similar customers with pricing that may vary by 30% from the same pick up and delivery points at the same time of ride request, which is necessarily price discrimination and is illegal. There is no way for customers of these transportation network companies to see if they are being offered the same price as a mobile smart phone unit across the street. Transportation companies know these deficiencies and openly exploit people because there is no mechanism to ensure that the price one rider pays for one good is the same as another person on the exact same waypoint combination at the exact same time. The current algorithms of transportation network companies are not based on fair and open pricing mechanisms and there is no community to enforce accountability around the pricing structures. We could not imagine going to a grocery store and seeing two customers with the same cup of coffee be charged two different prices for the same cup of coffee because of the way they look, the fact that their smart phone has a different origin location, or a plurality of other factors. These deficiencies in the market are not only illegal from a Federal Trade Commission perspective, but the government does not have the resources to police such illegal activity. The disclosed invention eliminates price discrimination among many other deficiencies because the virtual hub community data transformations, as well as transportation unit market structure data transformations, allow for complete transparency for similar commodity services (Federal Trade Commission, “Price Discrimination: Robinson-Patman Violations”, https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/competition-guidance/guide-antitrust-laws/price-discrimination-robinson-patman).

In the development of the method and system of transforming a series of waypoint(s) into virtual communities, daily commute routes can then become virtual communities where accountability, transparency and economic markets may form. Current methods and systems leave most roadways full of congestion because there is no “community” on the road, as there is no method or mechanism to efficiently help the people in the vehicle next to us. Prior art does not transform data structures or sequences of waypoint combinations into virtual communities. Accordingly, in a very real way, all the people on a given morning commute route are a community, but there is no structure, method or system to allow the community to benefit from each other. The implementation of the disclosed method and system creates a community on a given destination waypoint or series of waypoints that is further transformed into an object to which people may subscribe, friend, follow, comment, and post. In addition, using U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/877,393, “Electronic Forward Market Exchange for Transportation Seats and Capacity in Transportation Spaces and Vehicles,” filed Jan. 23, 2018, they may transact on an open and transparent transportation security market that forces the lowest cost, transparent and non-price discriminatory solution to dominate the market, since all participants have equal access to the market method and system for transportation capacity units or securities. It is a well-known fact that transparent open access markets create the lowest price for a good or service with fungible characteristics, such as in airlines, telecom and electricity markets (Pentland, W., “After decades of doubt, deregulation delivers lower electricity prices.”, Oct. 13, 2013, https://www.forbes.com/sites/williampentland/2013/10/13/after-decades-of-doubt-deregulation-delivers-lower-electricity-prices/#710fb94b1d13). The lowest cost and most efficient solution will greatly reduce pollution, increase transportation capacity utilization rates, reduce traffic congestion, increase service frequency and save consumers of transportation services trillions in cost by increasing utilization rates. A method to create a community route or waypoint sequence based object to provide a gateway to open access transparent systems for trading transportation capacity will also ensure that new technologies such as autonomous cars do not become elitist and are only reserved for the wealthy and do not actually add to pollution and congestion problems as New York City has seen with transportation network companies. Transportation is currently one of the most inefficient markets in the world, and a community route or waypoint sequence structure to provide a gateway for open forward market for transportation capacity units will bring market discipline and low-cost commodity pricing to all classes and forms of transportation capacity, freight movement and services.

If people on a given waypoint destination or series of waypoints on a route have a method and system to make a community and a gateway to provide each other economic benefits in that community data structure waypoint sequence, then substantial congestion, pollution, and maintenance issues will be reduced.

Further, common transportation modes and methods have lacked basic security. Anyone skilled the art of transportation would quickly recognize that there is fairly robust security to travel by air, but nearly no security while traveling by bus, car, autonomous car, motorcycle, ship, train, subway, light rail or many other methods. While all these common methods of transportation lack security checks, the number one reason people use to not carpool or combine transportation units is personal security. The disclosed novel invention integrates a high level of security technology within the context of a community data transformation for routes to provide a gateway for an open market method of a multi-modal open forward market for transportation and freight capacity. The security technology greatly reduces former barriers to community and ridesharing or transportation unit safety.

Lastly, roadways are generally the highest cause of death with well more dying in vehicle accidents than in all wars combined. Methods and systems such as the disclosed system, which build community around a series or sequence of waypoints to provide gateways to economic transportation platforms to help riders and drivers combine vehicles, not only has tremendous benefits of saving money, reducing pollution, and decreasing congestion, but, also, it saves lives because all people drive more cautiously when they have more than one person in the vehicle.

Description of the Related Art

The following descriptions and examples are not admitted to be prior art by virtue of their inclusion within this section.

The current implementations of methods to build carpool communities suffer from lack of structure, firm service, safety, accountability, scheduling issues, substitutability issues and general poor perception of the concept of carpooling. No vibrant virtual community platforms aggregate or transform people into virtual communities along specific routes with efficient methods or ancillary benefits. Further, most implementations of methods do not allow price discovery between various sellers and buyers of transportation because the systems are disparate and are not open access or transparent. Users of transportation network company services today in New York City may request a ride at the same moment in time from the exact same pick up location and drop off location and experience pricing that is 30% different. The majority of mobile method and system transportation services are utilizing mobile technology and GPS as well as system algorithms to manage transportation as a service, which is fundamentally different than viewing transportation as a securitized commodity and as a commodity market and forming virtual route waypoint sequence communities, which the disclosed system and method accomplish. Competing methods do not form waypoint sequence-based communities and do not provide gateways to price transportation as a service, with the consumer buying multiple units with no transparent marketplace governing price competition for a single freight or transportation unit along a hub to hub route. Furthermore, these services and methods do not foster accountability in service. If a typical transportation network company provides a service to a rider, they may cancel with no penalty, as the method is not firm and it does not transform the transportation unit into a standardized security asset with the properties of cost of cover, liquidated damages and force majeure among many attributes of the contract specification. Additional competing implementations of methods do not allow for forward selling or forward purchasing of transportation seats, freight or capacity beyond a single transaction, which a commodity forward market for transportation unit securities allows through the disclosed systems and methods, and which are a bridged gateway from the data transformation of a social network into route based virtual communities of the disclosed invention. The disclosed creation route based virtual community object to provide a gateway to a forward market of transportation unit security between virtual hubs along map routes has also never held the attributes of a forward contract security, which allows for one transportation unit security to be substitutable for another transportation unit security. In other words, if user A bought a transportation unit security from user B, but then user A was not able to perform the obligation to purchase the transportation unit security from user B, then user A could resell the transportation unit security contract to a third party user C on the forward transportation unit auction market to retrieve the financial payment made for their original purchase from user B. Then user C would replace user A and be matched with user B, while incorporating the data transformation of the overall method and system and while considering additional subordinate concepts such as cost of cover, liquidated damages and force majeure. No prior art transforms a series of waypoints or waypoint sequences into a community object that has features which allow users to subscribe, friend, follow or member, or which allow users to gain benefits of a gateway to an economic mechanism to trade rides as a transformed transportation unit(s). No prior art discloses the disclosed transportation unit communities which provide gateways to transportation unit securities to incorporate the concepts of cost of cover, liquidated damages, force majeure, contract specifications or firm service to ensure reliability and asset performance. No other system or method performs the aforementioned data transformation combination, nor do the prior art methods and systems capture the technical elements that make the data transformations possible.

Not only does the formation of route based or waypoint sequence based community objects increase accountability mechanisms along a give route, it provides an efficient gateway and market data transformation structure for an open and transparent market for transportation unit securities and allows for large increases in price discovery, and, by economic theory, results in the lowest possible price for consumers. City planners from New York to Austin to San Francisco to Paris to Mumbai to Tokyo to Beijing to Sao Paulo or Johannesburg all struggle to see how the future options of transportation will shape city planning. City planners have large concerns that when markets move to autonomous cars that cities will still have massive congestion problems if people continue to ride as a single passenger in one car.

Implementations of methods have been made in systems that provide virtual communities for ride sharing, but none frame the problem as routes being a community object data structure or as a gateway to a forward commodity market or a unitized transportation security capacity market with simple elegant systems and methods which allow the natural forces of supply and demand to set the price through a universally transparent medium, such as an open transportation and freight capacity forward market with securitized contract specifications. Additionally, no prior art system or method proposes a technically capable solution of integrating the technical software and hardware requirements and data transformations for integrating the tasks of a community forming system for specific routes or virtual hub sequences of waypoints, which are an object to which one may subscribe, friend, follow or become a member alongside a network, GPS system, mobile computing devices, servers, forward commodity markets, grouping software for hubs, community route processors, my route processors, sequence route processors, transparent open access pricing systems, blockchain audit, safety methods and systems, virtual hub systems, map routing systems, and algorithms for no arbitrage conditions in a simple easy to use graphical user interface format for mobile or virtual computing over various mediums which are connected via a network.

-   -   1) U.S. Pat. No. 6,356,838 issued Mar. 12, 2002 to Sunil Paul         discloses a method, system and program for determining an         efficient transportation route. The prior art relates to a         computer-implemented method is described for determining an         efficient transportation route comprising: compiling travel data         over one or more travel segments, the travel data transmitted         from one or more transportation vehicles traveling over the         travel segments; receiving positional data associated with a         transportation request, the positional data including an origin         and a destination; and providing a driver of a vehicle with a         first efficient route from the origin to the destination using         the travel data, the first efficient route including one or more         of the travel segments. Also described is a computer-implemented         method for providing transportation services comprising:         receiving a transportation request from a passenger; tracking         the passenger's position following the request using positional         detection logic; and transmitting positional data identifying         the passenger's position to a pickup vehicle. The prior art         patent is widely cited as the business model taken by most         mobile application based transportation services companies.         While the prior art does describe the service model of the         current construct of the market for transportation with a custom         on demand service and then a corresponding company delivering         that service through both the technology and the actual physical         transportation, it defines a completely different market         scenario than a virtual hub to virtual hub transportation         sequence which has been predefined as a community as a gateway         for an open transparent market forward market for an individual         transportation or freight capacity unit. As previously         discussed, a commodity based transportation capacity unit market         has a completely different market construct than is defined by         all operators and patents in the space. The prior art is simply         matching transportation requests through a series of servers,         GPS systems, and mobile devices. The prior art clearly was a         novel invention, but as evidenced by the market, the method has         been utilized to replace the inefficient taxi model rather than         create a community route sequence marketplace for transportation         units that can be priced as a commodity with specific commodity         contract specifications and the discipline a market brings to a         business problem to fill up unutilized transportation capacity         through the efficient mechanism of price. It is very clear the         result of the methods and systems of the prior art has         contributed to increased congestion and traffic unlike the         disclosed methods and systems. In a virtual route based         community gateway to a commodity-based transportation capacity         system with open access transparent systems and methods, the         price will continue to go lower until all space has been         utilized or supply for the transportation units is equal to the         demand for transportation units. As any observer with ordinary         skill would see, most transportation or freight unit seats or         capacity goes unutilized and this is a proof and counterexample         that no such system is in existence and that the patents and         prior art in this field do not address the present novel         invention of bringing a commodity market to bear on the prices         of individual units of transportation or freight capacity         between virtual hub to virtual hub routes. If prior art         addressed the novel invention, then a marketplace would exist         for transportation units of capacity which is open access and         transparent and prices would drop until a level was reached         where all transportation was fully utilized, just as has         occurred in oil and gas or other commodity markets. The prior         art simply makes the method of taxicab and private service cars         more efficient and in fact adds to congestion as has been         empirically documented by all cities across the world. By         contrast the novel invention may use the method and system         integrating the technical software and hardware requirements for         integrating the tasks of a network, GPS system, mobile computing         devices, servers, forward commodity markets, grouping software         for hubs, route sequence processors, community route processors,         transparent open access pricing systems, blockchain audit and         safety methods and systems, virtual hub topology systems,         securitization, algorithms for no arbitrage conditions in a         simple easy to use graphical user interface format for mobile or         virtual computing over various mediums which are connected via a         network.     -   2) U.S. Pat. No. 6,421,606 issued Jul. 16, 2002 to Asai et al.,         discloses a method and system for a route guiding apparatus and         medium. The prior art specifically addresses a route guiding         apparatus providing information for a route using public         transportation as an alternative to a vehicular route. In         addition to searching for a vehicular route from a current         location to a destination, it is determined whether the current         location and the destination are within a zone in which public         transportation can be used. When the current location and the         destination are determined to be within a public transportation         zone, a route using public transportation is searched for.         Subsequently, the cost of the route using public transportation         and the cost of the vehicular route are compared. When the cost         of the public transportation route falls within a predetermined         limit, the apparatus indicates the public transportation route.         The route costs are calculated considering factors such as         required travel time and ticket fees. The apparatus may also         recommend public transportation when no parking is available         near the destination or based on traffic information concerning         the vehicular route. The prior art clearly addresses a comparing         function to determine the lowest cost route to move from one         point to another point however the prior art is completely void         of providing virtual hub waypoint sequence communities as a         gateway to an open access transparent forward commodity market         for individual capacity units to place the method of a market         over the system which would then allow for dramatically lower         and more efficient prices and utilization would increase         dramatically as supply and demand forces would force the market         to balance through price. Accordingly, the prior art is not         comparable from a market method and system basis or from an         efficiency basis. The novel invention by contrast integrates the         technical software and hardware requirements for integrating the         tasks of a network, GPS system, mobile computing devices,         servers, securitization, forward commodity markets, grouping         software for hubs, transparent open access pricing systems,         blockchain audit and safety methods and systems, virtual hub         topology systems, algorithms for no arbitrage conditions in a         simple easy to use graphical user interface format for mobile or         virtual computing over various mediums which are connected via a         network.     -   3) U.S. Pat. No. 7,373,320 issued May 13, 2008 to Timothy         Francis McDonough discloses a method and system for an invention         relating to a futures exchange for services contracts. The         SerFEx is an electronic market system that enables the exchange         of cash (spot and futures) contracts and futures contracts for         the delivery of services. Services are traded on the exchange         similar to commodities on a prior art commodities exchange. The         exchange allows the futures market to determine the right price         for services for the producers and consumers of those services.         Participants may buy, sell, or leverage services contracts         through a variety of order types. The exchange is composed of an         electronic infrastructure that has four major components: a         front-end facility comprised of licensed authorized         intermediaries, an automated bid/ask matching system, a         clearinghouse system, and a title management system. The         exchange operates twenty-four hours per day and seven days per         week with all accounts settled at least once in every         twenty-four hours. Participants in the exchange may be producers         of services, intermediaries, speculators, and consumers of the         services. The prior art very clearly calls the title and claims         of the patent a contract futures exchange. A person with         ordinary skill in the art would know there is a dramatic         difference between a futures contract which are on regulated         exchanges and forward contracts which trade over the counter.         Futures contracts are highly regulated, by definition. There are         very specific legal differences between futures and forward         contracts, and they can't be confused or used interchangeably.         As one of many examples, speculators are not permitted to trade         forward contracts as all contracts must be transacted with a         physical underlying ownership and must be physically delivered         unlike regulated futures exchanges which permit speculators. For         the sake of clarity, the transportation capacity market is         exclusively limited to forward physical contracts which means         that the contracts are limited to be traded by only those who         are actually providing the underlying service or method. The         prior art specifically mentions a data system method for         implementing a service contract exchange for construction,         transportation, warehousing, postal services, information, real         estate, rental, leasing, financial, insurance, professional,         scientific, technical services, management, administrative         services, educational services, health care, social assistance         arts, entertainment and recreation among others. Again, someone         with ordinary skill would note the specific technical difference         between a forward contract which is disclosed and the prior art         futures contract. As a very important further technical         difference to anyone with ordinary skill in the art, the prior         art does not show mobile computers or GPS systems as part of the         disclosed futures exchange in any of the claims or as any part         of any diagram and it would be clear this would be a necessary         requirement to functionally allow for the delivery of futures or         forward contracts for transportation or freight. Furthermore,         the prior art does not address forming virtual hub sequence         based communities as objects to which people may subscribe,         follow, friend or become a member. Therefore, the prior art         method and system would be incapable of completing the novel         invention disclosed in this patent method and systems. FIGS. 9A         and 9B of the prior art show that the primary art of the patent         in question was a futures contract to sell a royalty escrow         service contract which does not require GPS or mobile based         technology to complete a transaction. Accordingly, the prior art         would be disqualified from comparison very clearly to someone         with ordinary skill based on the futures to forwards legal         differences and the technical inability to complete a         transportation capacity contract without mobile or GPS based         technology outlined in any claim or figure of the patents. The         prior art is limited to a regulated futures exchange which has a         clearing house that guarantees the transactions through a highly         regulated process. By contrast forward contracts carry default         risks. The prior art refers to mark to market contracts which         are a hall mark of futures contracts whereas the novel invention         forward transportation unit contracts are settled on one date at         the end of the contract. The prior art is clearly limited to         regulated futures with are heavily participated in by         speculators who are betting on price directions and usually         close out positions prior to maturity as evidenced by any         regulated commodity futures trading commission data. The novel         invention by contrast is a forward transportation or freight         capacity unit security contract which is mainly used by hedgers         and physical participants in the market to eliminate the         volatility of an asset price and physical delivery usually takes         place as would be the case for someone actually using or         providing the transportation or freight capacity unit. The prior         art futures contracts are generally subject to one single         regulatory regime as by definition they must be regulated by a         single entity in one jurisdiction. The prior art is limited in         the claims to futures which in the case of physical delivery,         counterparties are chosen randomly by the exchange. By contrast         the novel invention of a forward transportation capacity or         freight security unit specifies to whom the delivery should be         made. The prior art claims are limited to futures where there         are margin requirements and periodic margin calls by which cash         may change hands daily. By contrast the novel invention of a         computer implemented forward commodity transportation capacity         unit security market, no cash flows until physical delivery         takes place. By comparison the novel invention may be transacted         across jurisdictional boundaries and are primarily governed by         the transactional relations between the parties. The prior art         is a futures exchange for service contracts for royalties of         many service products highlighting the service of transportation         or transportation as a service which is not an actual physical         fungible good such as a commodity like copper or coffee or oil         which can have an associated futures contract. By contrast the         novel invention is a fungible commodity forward contract of an         actual seat or ride capacity or space freight capacity on a         transportation capacity bearing unit security. A service of the         prior art would not be able to group users using a virtual hub         pooling server which would then combine with another virtual hub         or combination of hubs to make a tradable commodity unit, again         therefore rendering the prior art as incapable of delivering or         even rendering the service. The novel invention by contrast         integrates the technical software and hardware requirements for         integrating the tasks of a network, GPS system, mobile computing         devices, servers, forward commodity markets, grouping topology         software for hubs, transparent open access pricing systems,         blockchain audit and safety methods and systems, virtual hub         topology systems, algorithms for no arbitrage conditions in a         simple easy to use graphical user interface format for mobile or         virtual computing over various mediums which are connected via a         network. The prior art is technically incapable of providing the         software or hardware that would allow for the completion of a         transaction between two users in any of the claims. Lastly, the         prior art of McDonough largely resembles the recent U.S. Supreme         court decision in Alice Corp. v. CLS Bank International. The         issue in the Alice case was whether certain claims about a         computer-implemented, electronic escrow service for facilitating         financial transactions covered abstract ideas ineligible for         patent protection. The patents were held to be invalid because         the claims were drawn to an abstract idea, and implementing         those claims on a computer was not enough to transform that idea         into patentable subject matter. It is very clear that the prior         art of McDonough is dangerously close in spirit if not fully         resembling the Alice decision as the patent is simply pushing         forth the concept of using a financial exchange to cover a         general abstract idea with very little evidence to support a         novel invention, data transformations of the actual structure of         the market or a novel approach to how to make the physical         market perform with either an escrow service contract futures         exchange or a transportation service contract futures exchange.         In this specific case, the Supreme court gave a two-step test         which McDonough would follow the precedent of Alice in that they         are simply borrowing the concept of a futures exchange without a         novel technical method or system as to facilitating a         transaction and as we clearly present in our arguments, the         prior art could not facilitate a transportation futures contract         implementation because there is no mobile technology to route         riders which renders the implementation non-feasible. Further         there is no specific computer system or unique program which is         novel in the implementation other than regurgitating back the         business method of a prior art exchange and then applying it to         the abstract concept of applying the existing prior art to         service contracts. The novel system and methods of this patent         specifically outline the implementation of integrating a novel         interfacing of networks, GPS systems, mobile computing devices,         services, forward commodity markets, securitization, grouping         software for hubs, transparent open access pricing systems,         virtual hub topology, no arbitrage conditions alongside a novel         graphical user interface that combines all these systems and         methods for forward transportation contracts. Clearly the         current disclosed patent (unlike McDonough), adds “something         extra” that embodies and “innovative concept” and is not         generic, conventional or obvious as no other patent or business         offers these novel concepts.     -   4) U.S. Pat. No. 7,756,633 issued Jul. 13, 2010 to Huang et al.,         discloses a method and system for a comprehensive         security-enhanced rideshare system is provided. The rideshare         program includes localization, mapping and ride matching for         participants. Participation incentives and revenue methods         provide for the financial viability of the rideshare system.         Participant security is monitored in near real-time using         location-determining communication devices used by the         participants in the system. The rideshare system monitors a         number of security-indicating criteria and takes action when an         anomalous condition is recognized. The method claim of the prior         art specifically refers to providing security in a rideshare         environment and monitoring that participant to look for         anomalies during the travel route or travel times by a         pre-defined threshold and sending security alerts to be         confirmed by the rideshare participant that indeed they are         safe. The disclosed novel invention claims defining route or         virtual hub sequences as community objects to which members may         subscribe, friend, follow or become a member as a gateway to the         forward transportation unit market. The novel invention is         fundamentally different than the prior art as the blockchain         technology for security within the forward transportation         capacity market relies upon algorithms which include independent         comprehensive background checks of participants combined         algorithms which alert towards the actual commodity unit of the         transportation capacity unit security not being delivered as per         the forward contract specifications in the agreement. Further         facial recognition, fingerprint, video 911 and photo recognition         sub-methods are not utilized to ensure the identity of users         which are part of the novel invention and patent.     -   5) U.S. Pat. No. 7,680,770 issued Mar. 16, 2010 to Buyukkokten         et al. discloses systems and methods for automatic generation         and recommendation of communities in a social network or set         forth. The prior art claims specifically deal with collecting         user profiles or user profile attributes to create a new defined         community based on matched profiles. By contrast the disclosed         novel invention is defining communities based on static virtual         hub sequences, not on user profiles. The static virtual hub(s)         or hub sequence(s) are independent of people or members and         further require additional data transformations that would not         be possible from determining user profiles. Just as bus stops         are not determined by user profiles, nor are virtual hubs or         sequences. People may join, friend, follow or become a member of         a virtual hub routes sequence as a community object, but the         object is independent of the people. The disclosed novel         invention also requires use of GPS networks and servers which         are not to be found in the diagrams or claims of the prior art.         The disclosed novel invention also requires use of data         transformations to form virtual hub sequences as community         objects as a gateway for additional data transformations of         turning transportation units into securities or commodities         which are substitutable. The prior art method is specifically         creating incremental communities based on a plurality of user         features whereas     -   6) U.S. Pat. No. 8,121,780 issued Feb. 21, 2012 to Gerdes et al.         discloses a method for offering a user reward based on a chosen         navigation route includes calculating alternative routes from a         starting location to a destination location by taking into         consideration route segments including public transportation         route segments and road network route segments. The alternative         routes are presented to a user. A reward is offered for choosing         a respective one of the routes. A navigation system that         performs the route calculation preferably queries a network         database for public transportation information. The prior art in         concept is similar to the Paul et al, US Patent application No         2015/0248689 wherein the user of the system and method are given         a reward or incentive for choosing a route which in theory         promotes the concept of transportation pooling or the use of         public transportation. The clear differences again are that the         prior art is not a route based virtual hub waypoint sequence as         a community to provide a gateway to a forward based         transportation capacity market which will drive the         transportation capacity price to the lowest possible economic         level. Accordingly, the prior art does not necessarily lead to         the most efficient outcome and is a distinctly different method.         The forward commodity individual unit security transparent open         access forward market is required to arrive at the most         efficient lowest price outcome in the limit and therefore the         disclosed invention uses methods and systems to come to a         superior solution and is therefore fundamentally different and         unique. The novel invention by contrast integrates the technical         software and hardware requirements for integrating the tasks of         a network, GPS system, mobile computing devices, community route         processors, sequence route processors, servers, forward         commodity markets, grouping software for hubs, securitization,         transparent open access pricing systems, blockchain audit and         safety methods and systems, virtual hub topology systems,         algorithms for no arbitrage conditions in a simple easy to use         graphical user interface format for mobile or virtual computing         over various mediums which are connected via a network.     -   7) U.S. Pat. No. 8,762,035 issued Jun. 24, 2014 to Uri Levine et         al., discloses a method and system for real-time community         information exchange for a traffic mapping service for allowing         plurality of users having each a navigation device to transmit         their locations to a server and optionally to signal to the         server their requested destination. The system and method are         further capable of calculating traffic parameters such as         current traffic speed at a given road based on the momentary         locations of the users. The system and method of the invention         may also calculate and advise the users of preferred roads to         take in order to arrive at the requested location with minimum         delay. The prior art utilizes GPS systems and mobile devices to         route people most efficiently from a starting point to an ending         point utilizing a community of users. The prior art makes no         mention of using route based virtual hub sequences as community         objects to which people may subscribe, friend or follow to         provide a gateway to a forward transportation unit market. The         prior art utilizes a community but has nothing to mention of an         open access transparent transportation or freight trading market         for forward transportation or freight capacity. Further the         prior art is focused on the shortest mapping route for a         transportation segment, not using a market to price the value of         the individual capacity units along a given virtual hub to         virtual hub topology route or a series of single or multi-modal,         multi-hub topology subject to constraints to price the         transportation or freight capacity. The novel invention by         contrast integrates the technical software and hardware         requirements for integrating the tasks of a network, GPS system,         mobile computing devices, servers, securitization, community         route processors, my route processors, sequence route         processors, forward commodity markets, grouping software for         hubs, transparent open access pricing systems, blockchain audit         and safety methods and systems, virtual hub topology systems,         algorithms for no arbitrage conditions in a simple easy to use         graphical user interface format for mobile or virtual computing         over various mediums which are connected via a network.     -   8) U.S. Pat. No. 8,798,593 issued Aug. 5, 2014 to Haney,         discloses location sharing and tracking using mobile phones or         other wireless devices. The prior art systems and methods         provide a system for exchanging GPS or other position data         between wireless devices for purposes of group activities, child         location monitoring, work group coordination, dispatching of         employees etc. Cell phones and other wireless devices with GPS         receivers have loaded therein a Buddy Watch application and a         TalkControl application. The Buddy Watch application         communicates with the GPS receiver and other wireless devices         operated by buddies registered in the user's phone as part of         buddy groups or individually. GPS position data and historical         GPS position data can be exchanged between cell phones of         buddies and instant buddies such as tow truck drivers via a         buddy watch server. Referencing the Alice Corp. v. CLS Bank         International decision, the prior art generally falls under the         category of an abstract concept of grouping people using GPS         which is not a novel concept or method beyond a general business         method from prior art without specific application. Further, the         prior art would struggle to stand the light of Alice         additionally considering Bilski v. Kappos that the idea of         grouping people with GPS is an abstract idea and does not apply         to a specific novel example of transportation, building a         virtual community based on a route sequence data transformation,         transportation as a commodity, unique transportation contract         specifications, uniquely defining transportation capacity         securities as seats or cargo space, transportation to define a         virtual or actual hub or hub series topology in the context of a         forward contract market for transportation securities.     -   9) U.S. Patent Application No. US 2015/0248689 with publication         date of Sep. 3, 2015 to Sunil Paul et al., discloses a method         and system for providing transportation discounts. The prior art         systems and methods for providing transportation discounts are         disclosed as a server receives, from a client device of a user,         a request for a transportation service. In response, the server         identifies that the request relates to a particular         characteristic associated with modified pricing. The server then         calculates an adjusted price for the transportation service         based on the modified pricing associated with the particular         characteristic. As we have reviewed in the background section of         this patent application the disclosed system and method uses         proprietary information for a company to price a transportation         discount which is non-transparent and the company assigned the         patent uses its technology to price the discount rather than an         open transparent market such as a commodity market for         transportation or freight capacity. The Paul et al patent         application refers to a ride request in FIG. 7 which prices a         discount for a ride option based on longer wait time and fewer         pick-ups as a disclosed example. In this example, the ride         request and the market are not for an individual security unit         of transportation or freight capacity and the example is not an         open access market exchange for the individual units of         transportation securities. Custom discounts or the concept of         generally used discounts are not used in Individual custom rides         are not commodities which has been why the transportation market         has not been able to get to the result that we propose. In a hub         to hub based system (or multi-hub topology, there would be         enough liquidity and participants to create a viable marketplace         of substitutable transportation or freight capacity securities.         A hub to hub transportation model may generally leave the last         mile of transportation to another system or method such as the         method of a custom transportation request. A commodity market         for transportation or freight capacity is only viable where         there is ample liquidity for substitution as a security. The         disclosed method and system of Paul et al., is fundamentally         different and more akin to the current methods and systems         currently available through companies such as Uber or Lyft or         Grab or Via. Paul et al, in FIG. 8 propose an electronic         bulletin board for matching custom requests, but clearly do not         function as a commodity forward market securities with defined         commodity delivery points (virtual hubs or multi-layered virtual         hubs), product specifications, penalties for non-performance,         etc. . . . as are standard in commodity contracts for well-known         alternative products such as wheat, corn, natural gas, power,         oil, etc. . . . . Further FIG. 9 disclosed by Paul et al, shows         a cross promotional package approach to transportation and         theater or dinner shows which defeats the purpose of defining         transportation units as a commodity unit security which will         bear the lowest cost and provide the highest economic incentive         for usage. FIG. 12 from Paul et al describes a method and system         for using user profile history data to generate discounts which         by definition are set by the system. This is fundamentally         different from setting a price by an open access market where         any participant can offer any price at any time for a given hub         to hub route with uniformity of contract as a security. No         system or company controls the pricing, the market is left free         to float which is different from the system and method Paul et         al, propose which has a transportation server price the         transportation request for some hot spot location. Paul makes no         mention of virtual hub sequenced based community object which         allows members to subscribe, follow, friend or join to provide a         gateway to a forward transportation unit market. Further, Paul         et al suggest some embodiments are defined from a sponsor giving         a transportation discount to a particular location as a         promotion. A transportation unit commodity security market         eliminates custom behavior and treats a transportation unit         security for a specific product as uniform without special         characteristics such as are disclosed by Paul et al. The novel         invention by contrast integrates the technical software and         hardware requirements for integrating the tasks of a network,         GPS system, data transformations, mobile computing devices,         securitization, servers, forward commodity markets, grouping         software for virtual hubs, transparent open access pricing         systems, blockchain audit and safety methods and systems,         virtual hub topology systems, algorithms for no arbitrage         conditions in a simple easy to use graphical user interface         format for mobile or virtual computing over various mediums         which are connected via a network.     -   10) U.S. Patent Application No. US 2009/0287401 A1 with         publication date of Nov. 19, 2009 to Uri Levine et al., disclose         a system and method for traffic mapping service are disclosed         for allowing plurality of users having each a navigation device         to transmit their locations to a server and optionally to signal         to the server their requested destination. The system and method         are further capable of calculating traffic parameters such as         current traffic speed at a given road based on the momentary         locations of the users. The prior art is void to mention a         virtual hub sequence as a community object to which a member may         subscribe, join, friend or follow as a gateway to a forward         transportation unit market. The system is designed to advise the         users of preferred roads to take in order to arrive at the         requested location with minimum delay. The prior art systems and         methods clearly route based on time based routing which is         fundamentally different from price based routing or price based         navigation. No prior art directly deals with price based         navigation because no market has existed for transportation unit         securities such as disclosed in the novel and unique invention.     -   11) U.S. Pat. No. 9,389,094 B2 issued on Jul. 12, 2016 to         Jennifer T Brenner et al., disclose systems and methods         presented for sequencing locations and events and determining         routing and itineraries for the sequence. The prior art makes no         mention of forming a virtual hub sequence as a community object         to which members may subscribe, follow, join or friend as a         gateway to a forward transportation unit market. The prior art         method and system very clearly route based on event sequencing         rather than price based routing based on a market for underlying         transportation unit securities. Event sequencing as disclosed in         the prior art is based on event addresses which would be         fundamentally different from a route based on an underlying         forward market for transportation units. Further the prior art         sequences are dynamic as compared to route based sequences which         are static once formed as transformed data objects. The prior         art makes no remote referencing to forward markets for         transportation, transportation pricing on a route, forming         virtual communities around static routes of waypoints or         waypoint sequences which are fixed, price sequencing, or other         related routing techniques. The prior art method and system         would also be incapable of routing or navigation based on price         or forward market transportation unit securities.

SUMMARY

Further, the summary section is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the detailed description section. The summary section is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to be used to limit the scope of the claimed subject matter.

The aforementioned deficiencies and other problems associated with the general navigation systems, transportation and freight markets, securitization of transportation units, other novel systems and interfaces and how transportation functions with large inefficiencies which use electronic devices to hail taxi cabs or carpooling services are reduced or eliminated by the disclosed method and system of integrating and interfacing a plurality of systems into one system which allows the necessary data transformations for the transportation unit security combined with the efficiency of a forward market to price and ration unused spaced as to eliminate wasted transportation units or freight capacity as securities. In some embodiments, the methods and systems are on portable devices. In some embodiments, the disclosed method and system is a layer on mapping and map routing software on a plurality of computing devices. In some embodiments, the methods and systems use subordinate legal contracts to transform the data. In some embodiments, the methods and systems are on stationary devices. In yet other embodiments, the methods and system disclosed may use mixed reality, augmented reality or virtual reality or other audio or visualization methods to allow a user to transact and trade freight and transportation capacity as a forward commodity security. In some embodiments the graphical user interface (“GUI”) on any mobile or stationary computer device interfaces with one or more processors, memory and one or more modules, programs or sets of instructions stored in the memory for performing multiple functions. In some embodiments, the user interacts with the GUI primarily through finger contacts, voice commands, or other sensory methods to interface with the GUI. In some embodiments, the functions may include the user directing the GUI to place a user profile in a virtual hub so that they may participate, transact or trade a combination of virtual hub transportation routes as a forward commodity for transportation or freight capacity.

The following paragraphs provide various techniques of various embodiments described herein such as illustrated as in FIG. 1. In one implementation as illustrated in FIG. 1, a user 110 may be assigned or may join a virtual route community 101, 103, which is a sequence of virtual hub(s). In some embodiments, the virtual hub sequence may be assigned a metadata tag such as #ITHNYC 102 which is short for a longer full name sequence such as Ithaca, N.Y. to New York City, N.Y. In some embodiments, the origin virtual hub 105, may be a specific address and geolocation data in the city of Ithaca, N.Y. In some embodiments, the route 119 between the Ithaca, N.Y. virtual hub 105 and the New York City, N.Y. virtual hub 113 may be a sequence of two virtual hubs. In some embodiments, there may be many one or more trucks 118, cars 117, additional trucks 116, or additional cars 114 which are headed in a certain direction along the route 119. In some embodiments, additional vehicles 106, 107, 108, 109, 104, 111 may be headed the other direction along the virtual hub sequence 119 between two virtual hub points 105, 113. In some embodiments, additional user(s) 112 may join the virtual hub route sequence community 103. In yet another exemplary implementation, a user 110 may be assigned or may join a virtual route community 121, 123, which is a sequence of virtual hub(s). In some embodiments, the virtual hub sequence may be assigned a metadata tag such as #KatyHOU 122 which is short for a longer full name sequence such as Katy, Tex. to Houston, N.Y. In some embodiments, the origin virtual hub 125, may be a specific address and geolocation data in the city of Katy, Tex. In some embodiments, the route 139 between the Katy, Tex. virtual hub 125 and the Houston, Tex. virtual hub 133 may be a sequence of two virtual hubs. In some embodiments, there may be many one or more trucks 138, cars 137, additional trucks 136, or additional cars 134 which are headed in a certain direction along the route 139. In some embodiments, additional vehicles 126, 127, 128, 129, 130, 131 may be headed the other direction along the virtual hub sequence 139 between two virtual hub points 125, 133. In some embodiments, additional user(s) 132 may join the virtual hub route sequence community 123. In yet another exemplary implementation, a user 144 may be assigned or may join a virtual route community 141, 143, which is a sequence of virtual hub(s). In some embodiments, the virtual hub sequence may be assigned a metadata tag such as #PaloSF 142 which is short for a longer full name sequence such as Palo Alto, Calif. to San Francisco, Calif. In some embodiments, the origin virtual hub 145, may be a specific address and geolocation data in the city of Palo Alto, Calif. In some embodiments, the route 159 between the Palo Alto, Calif. virtual hub 145 and the San Francisco virtual hub 153 may be a sequence of two virtual hubs. In some embodiments, there may be many one or more trucks 158, cars 157, additional trucks 156, or additional cars 154 which are headed in a certain direction along the route 159. In some embodiments, additional vehicles 146, 147, 148, 149, 150, 151 may be headed the other direction along the virtual hub sequence 159 between two virtual hub points 145, 153. In some embodiments, additional user(s) 152 may join the virtual hub route sequence community 143.

In some embodiments, virtual hub sequences such as Ithaca, N.Y. virtual hub 105 to New York City, N.Y. virtual hub 113 are transformed into community objects, which may then be assigned a plurality of attributes in the same sense that a class in the Java programming language has methods as a part of the class object in object oriented programming. In some embodiments, the data transformation of a virtual hub sequence into a community object allows the similar benefits of the data transformations involved in computing languages with methods, where the methods help the instructions of the computer program communicate in an organized manner using modular logic. In some embodiments, virtual hub sequences such as 105 to 113 #ITHNYC 102 may be combined with other virtual hub sequences to extend the series sequence. As we have discussed at length in the previous sections of the disclosed invention, while there may be hundreds, thousands, or millions of people along various transportation virtual hub sequences, there currently exists no method or system of organizing a route or virtual hub sequence into a transformed data community object. The attributes of communities allow for superior communication, accountability and even transactions to occur within a community object 101. In some embodiments, the data transformation of a virtual hub sequence community object 101 allows a plurality of network members 110, 112 to be assigned virtual route communities 103 based on a plurality of attributes, prior GPS location histories, navigation search queries or other attributes. In some embodiments, virtual hub sequences which have been transformed into community objects 101 provide greater communication and organizational ability for a market to transact transportation unit(s) and provide a gateway for those transportation unit transactions as described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/877,393, “Electronic Forward market exchange for transportation seats and capacity in transportation spaces and vehicles,” filed Jan. 23, 2018, the entirety of which is incorporated by reference herein.

In some embodiments, virtual hub sequences which have been transformed into community objects 141, 121, 101 communicate through a network 160 to associate a price-time priority queue for a transformed transportation community object using a transportation unit queue processor 162, a server 163, memory 164 and a transportation forward market database server 161. In some embodiments, the virtual hub sequences or community objects 141, 121, 101 may be independent or sequenced to construct a waypoint sequence of multiple linked virtual hub route community objects 101, 121, 141. In some embodiments, the associated price-time priority queue system for transportation units may have generated processing and user interface display instructions from the transportation unit queue processor 162, the server 163, the memory 164 and a transportation forward market database server 161 through a network 160. In some embodiments, the price-time priority queue system for transformed transportation units may process and display a plurality of time and date sequences for a plurality of forward delivery periods for transformed transportation unit(s).

FIG. 2 illustrates in some embodiments, an exemplary network configuration 200. In some embodiments a network of virtual transportation hubs 201, 203, 205, 207, 212, 225 may represent a virtual transportation network of a neighborhood, village, city, county, state, country, continent or even inter-virtual hub networks across geographies. Prior art as well as current inventions carry no methods or data transformations to transform navigation routes 202 which are a virtual hub sequence between a series of virtual transportation hubs 201 and 203, 203 and 212, or multi-leg combinations such as 201 to 203 and 203 to 212 as a sequence. In some embodiments, user(s) 213 or the network 214 have input hundreds, thousands, millions, or more of virtual hubs 201 to form a network topology for transportation virtual hub sequences 241. In some embodiments, the transportation data transformation to a series of virtual transportation hubs 245, 253 allows for network structure 201, 203, 212, 205, 207, 225, 212 and organization, such as a hub and spoke model which is heavily utilized within the airline transportation industry, or a plurality of other competing network topologies which are not dependent on road pathways. While hub and spoke transportation systems are common for airplane transportation or bus and train networks, they do not exist for private vehicle networks in an organized manner other than roadways. In some embodiments, virtual transportation hub topologies 241 over road structures 259 allow for the benefits of public transportation networks to be combined with private vehicle networks. In some embodiments, the virtual transportation hub networks 201, 203, 212, 205, 207, 225, 212 have been input into the network 214. In some embodiments, the topologies of the virtual hub networks 201, 203, 212, 205, 207, 225, 212 then move for further data transformation in the community route processor 217, which transforms subsections of the transportation network topologies 201, 203, 212, 205, 207, 225, 212 into a virtual hub sequence 241. As shown, the virtual hub sequence 241 represents two addresses 245, 253 along a virtual hub sequence 259 such as Palo Alto, Calif. 245 to San Francisco, Calif. 253, where each virtual hub address 245, 252 corresponds with a physical address. Virtual Route Communities 243 may be one to one, one to two, or one to many and any superset or subset combination thereof. The My Route Processor 218 further processes virtual hub combination and virtual transportation hub sequences into a specific network member's account on the network member database server 222. In some embodiments, the sequence route processor 221 may connect a plurality of virtual hub sequences 201, 203 205, 207 in a logical order to complete a path combination 201 to 207 for navigation or community object construction. In some embodiments, community objects may be made from simple direct path routes 202 between two virtual hubs 201 and 203 or multi-virtual hub constructions between two virtual hub sequences 201 to 207 by waypoints of 201 to 203 to 212 to 207, or any combination or superset or subset thereof. In some embodiments, the virtual route community objects 243 allow attributes to be assigned to the community objects. In some embodiments, users may be assigned to a plurality of community virtual hub sequence objects 241. In some embodiments, network members 213 may be assigned to a virtual route community 241 because the user(s) route history on the GPS satellite network 215 suggests the route has overlap with virtual hub route sequences the user has used or queried on various search methods on the system. In some embodiments the user 213 may use a CPU client 290, which is a visual, audio or other type of computing interface, with the network 226 of navigation route communities 243. In some embodiments, the transportation forward market database server 271 may interface with a processor 219, sequence route processor 221, my route processor 218, or community route object processor 217 to process a plurality of price-time priority queues for transformed transportation unit(s). In some embodiments, a plurality of vehicles 258, 257, 256, 254, 246, 247, 248, 249, 250, 251 may be in route between a first virtual hub 245 and a second said virtual hub 253. In some embodiments, vehicles 257, 247 may be moving in opposite directions along a route 259. In some embodiments, a truck 258 may contain a transformed transportation unit(s), a car 251 may contain a transformed transportation unit(s), a bus 250 may contain a transformed transportation unit(s), or a plurality of other vehicle types may contain a transformed transportation unit(s) under a specification which is substitutable. In some embodiments, the virtual hub or community object sequence of waypoints may be reversed from waypoint 245 to waypoint 253 to waypoint 253 to waypoint 245. In some embodiments, the community route object 241 or community route object sequences 101, 121, 141 may have an infinite series of associated price-time queues, whereby any subset or superset comprise a forward market for transformed transportation unit(s), transformed community route object(s) and the associated transformed transportation unit(s). In some embodiments virtual route communities 241, 101, 121, 141 are transformed data structures that form objects which community users 213 may subscribe, friend, join, or follow to more efficiently have news and understanding for the transportation unit transactions, as described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/877,393, “Electronic Forward Market Exchange for Transportation Seats and Capacity in Transportation Spaces and Vehicles,” filed Jan. 23, 2018, the entirety of which is incorporated by reference herein.

In some embodiments, the price-time priority queue 300 may be assigned to two waypoints as a commute community object 241, or the price-time prior queue 300 may be assigned to a commute community waypoint object sequence of many waypoints 203 to 205 to 207 to 212 which have been added together to form one continuous commute community object 241 and respective price-time priority queue for transformed transportation units through processing instructions from the Community Route Processor 217 and Sequence Route Processor 221 via the network(s) 226, 214, and 215. In some embodiments, the limit order book 301 vector may be assigned to a specific date and time for the commute community waypoint object, which is a forward market price for transformed transportation unit(s) 271 and commute community waypoint object(s) 241. In some embodiments, a specific transformed transportation unit price-time priority queue limit buy order 304 with a specific price stamp bucket 305 of $5.10 may be cancelled. If the order 304 is cancelled, then the 303 price-time priority limit order book buy queue price moves to the higher price-time priority queue position of 304 and price-time priority price of 302 moves to position 303. In some embodiments, the price-time priority limit order sell price 319 of price-time priority bucket price 315 of $5.80 may be cancelled. If price-time priority of the transformed transportation unit is cancelled, then order 317 moves to a higher position in the overall transformed transportation queue 320 even though the limit order book price 317 remains in the price bucket of 316 which is $6.60. In some embodiments, price-time priority insertion may occur where a new order is inserted into either the transformed transportation unit buy queue 320 or transformed transportation unit sell queue 321. In some embodiments, by example but not limiting by example, a new price-time limit order for a transformed transportation unit may be inserted as a sell order at a price of $5.70 at position 313, which would then assume order 312 was also at a price of $5.70 and that order 312 was placed with a time that was before order 313 was placed. In the aforementioned example of the price-time order insertion of 313, price-time orders of 319, 318 and 317 have moved lower in their relative position even though they remain in distinctly different price buckets of 315 and 316, respectively. For the price-time priority queue 300, price is first priority, then time stamp in the price-time priority queue 300 for transformed transportation units.

In some embodiments, the lowest selling price s(t) 326 may equal the highest buying price b(t) 327, in which case the highest transformed transportation unit buy queue price bucket 310 is equal to the lowest transformed transportation unit sell queue 320 selling bucket price 314. In the example 300 of the limit order book 301, but not limiting by example, the highest transformed unit buy price 310 of $5.60 is lower than the lowest transportation unit sell queue 320 lowest selling bucket 314 of $3.70, so no match occurs because s (t)>b (t) 329. In some embodiments, many order insertions 331 or order cancellations 330 may occur for transformed transportation units from the transportation forward market database server 271 associated with community objects which are series of waypoints 241.

In some embodiments, the LOB 325 for transformed transportation units may contain many different types of instruction structures and specifications such as limit orders, market orders, market if touched orders, snap market orders, snap mid orders, snap to primary orders, peg to benchmark orders, or adaptive custom orders, which are custom customer designed instructions that are all standard order types for anyone skilled in the art of markets. In some embodiments, the LOB 325 for transformed transportation units may also contain instructions for order times such as good for the day, good till cancelled, immediate or cancel, good till date, day till cancelled or a plurality of additional custom instructions for the timing of the order of the transformed transportation unit in the LOB 325 that is associated with a commute community object 241. In some embodiments, a plurality of additional instructions and specifications may also be unique to each transformed transportation unit LOB 325 such as automobile mode, air mode, autonomous vehicle mode, bike mode, boat mode, bus mode, drone mode, limo mode, motorcycle mode, moped mode, shuttle mode, spaceship mode, subway mode, taxi mode, train mode, fastest optimized mode which may combine many modes or a single mode for a waypoint commute community object 241 or waypoint community sequence 201 to 203 to 205 to 212 to 207 of many commute communities 241.

In some embodiments, the LOB 325 may be assigned to transformed transportation unit packages that have associated commute community objects 241. In some embodiments, the LOB 325 for transformed transportation units may be assigned to cargo such as a trailer of a rig or container of a boat or container on a truck or any type of cargo that takes up the space of a transformed transportation unit. In some embodiments, the LOB 325 may even be assigned to the virtual transformed transportation unit which would be space along a packet moving medium such as a telecom pipeline, satellite telecom or wireless telecom that moves packets of data which are transformed transportation units.

FIG. 18 illustrates an exemplary network topology configuration 1800 in one exemplary implementation of participating, transacting and/or trading transformed transportation or freight capacity units or securities in accordance with some embodiments. In some embodiments, network configuration 1800 includes the following elements, or a subset or superset thereof:

Large Virtual Hub nodes such as 1801, 1802, 1803, 1804, 1805;

Medium Virtual Hub nodes such as 1810, 1811, 1809, 1808, 1807, 1806;

Small Virtual Hub nodes such as 1812, 1813, 1814, 1815, 1816, 1817, 1818, 1819, 1820, 1821;

In some embodiments, the overall network node topology 1800 is comprised of large virtual hub nodes 1801, 1802, 1803, 1804, 1805 and medium virtual hub nodes 1810, 1811, 1809, 1808, 1807, 1806 and small virtual hub nodes 1812, 1813, 1814, 1815, 1816, 1817, 1818, 1819, 1820, 1821, or a subset or superset thereof. In some embodiments a user may input a starting point of 1815 and an ending point of 1818, which represent specific geographic virtual hub locations in a city, multiple cities, a country, or multiple countries. In some embodiments, forward transportation market auctions may occur directly between two exemplary points such as 1815 and 1818, or the method and system may combine a series of smaller auctions to comprise a larger auction between two endpoints on the system. In some embodiments, a series of smaller auctions may be combined between 1815 and 1811, as well as 1811 and 1802, 1802 and 1805, 1805 and 1808, and/or 1808 and 1818, which would be added together to make a combined virtual hub auction. A combined series of smaller auctions may be constrained by instructions which form auctions based on cheapest transportation or freight route 1011, single mode transport or freight auctions 1012, multi-mode transport or freight 1013, fastest transport or freight constraints 1014, most scenic auctions 1015, highest rating auctions 1016, most available or liquid auctions 1017, highest volume auctions 1018, most frequent auctions 1019, service level auctions 1020, security and safety level auctions 1021, group restricted auctions by sex, email, organization, gender or other groups 1022. In some embodiments, the constraints allow for many types of auctions which are unique and novel for transformed transportation and freight capacity units or securities in a forward transportation and freight market. In some embodiments, the user 110 may specify instructions that set forward market auction constraints based on one or a plurality of constraints. In some embodiments, the constrained auctions may have fungible units which allow many participants to transact in the auctions. In some embodiments, the disclosed creation of a forward market of transportation units between virtual hubs 1801 and 1804 or other combinations along map routes has the attributes of a fungible forward contract which allows for one transportation unit to be substitutable for another transportation unit because the unit has been transformed and defined as a commodity contract. In other words, if user A bought a transportation unit from user B between virtual hub 1801 and virtual hub 1804, but then user A was not able to perform the obligation to purchase the transportation unit between virtual hub 1801 and virtual hub 1804 from user B, user A could resell the transportation unit contract between virtual hub 1801 and virtual hub 1804 to a third party user C on the forward transportation unit auction market between virtual hub 1804 and virtual hub 1801 to retrieve the financial payment made for their original purchase from user B. Then user C would replace user A and be matched with user B for the transportation unit transformation between virtual hub 1804 and virtual hub 1801. No other prior art system or method performs the aforementioned data transformation combination. In some embodiments, the transportation or freight unit auction substitutability dynamic creates a unique and novel invention that does not exist in the world today. In some embodiments, user 110 input instructions use constrained optimization to form one auction between two points or a series of multiple auctions that form one larger auction.

In some embodiments, the forward transportation and freight unit auctions subject to various constraints may be presented as a linear programming cost minimization problem in the exemplary case where the user 110 selects the cheapest route 1011 constraint. In such an exemplary case, the series of auctions may be combined that utilize the lowest cost path between the start point 1815 and the ending point 1818. In such an exemplary case, the linear programming cost minimization function may select the following path of 1815 to 1811 to 1802 to 1804 to 1805 to 1808 to 1818 if that combination is the lowest cost auction path. In another such exemplary case, the user 110 may select instructions for the auction to minimize both cost and shortest route. In such an exemplary case, the linear programming function may minimize cost subject to a constraint that time is the shortest along the path, and the resulting auction may combine a different and unique series of auctions between the starting point of 1815 and ending point 1818. Accordingly, the path may be optimized to minimize cost subject to the shortest path, which may yield a path of 1815 to 1811 to 1802 to 1805 to 1808 to 1818. The plurality of combinations of linear programming sequences of auctions for transportation or freight units between two points may consider an infinite set of combinations and permutations.

In some embodiments, the forward transformed transportation and freight unit or transformed transportation security unit auctions may be held side by side between two competing routes 4200. By way of example, but not limited to the example, a user may input instructions for the method and system to route between virtual hub 1801 and virtual hub 1805. One route may be directly between virtual hub 1801 and virtual hub 1805. Another route may be between virtual hub 1801 and virtual hub 1805 by way of virtual hub 1802. The time between the routes may vary due to traffic, construction, road conditions, accidents or a plurality of other exogenous factors. However, the data transformation of the disclosed method allows for two auctions to form side by side. Side by side auctions may be displayed on a market based user interface 1300 or as a software layer of instructions over a navigation system. The first transportation unit auction may be between virtual hub 1805 and virtual hub 1801 directly as one auction. A second auction may be by combining two smaller auctions between virtual hub 1805 and virtual hub 1802 with the auction between virtual hub 1802 and virtual hub 1801, which could be expressed independently or as a combined auction. The plurality of route auctions for the transportation unit (e.g., auction one directly between virtual hub 1801 and virtual hub 1805, and auction two between virtual hub 1801 and virtual hub 1805 by way of virtual hub 1802) may allow for the user to have transparent price auction information for the value of various proposed routes which have different price values.

The #AustinHou #HouMem #MemVoss 4635 three leg virtual hub sequence combination may further solve last mile issues for travelers where public transport may be an issue or private rides simply are going a different direction. The sequence community object transformation may help travelers understand options and piece multiple transportation systems onto a single community based object to aggregate communication and transaction benefits of the system. In some embodiments, prior history navigation searches and locations may be used to build recommended additional sequences 4640 which may be recommended for users to subscribe, join, follow or become a member. In some embodiments, the virtual hub route sequence may link 4 or more virtual hub sequence pairs or even combinations of already linked community object pairs 4645. In some embodiments, #AustinHou #HouMem #MemVoss #VossBein 4645 may be linked to provide a last mile sequence to a traveler or driver from Austin to the Memorial Area of Houston in a specific address. Traversing a series of linked trips may allow for the cost of non-linked trips to be dramatically lower due to using a series of connected local seats, rather than a private for hire vehicle which may be 10 times the cost and add a reverse dead head trip that further pollutes the environment and leaves the driver without additional income on the dead head return leg. The transformed virtual hub sequence methodology allows for transportation systems to be integrated in ways that were not formerly possible because the systems were disparate or simply did not allow for linked trips or linked community objects that could optimize topological network structures over existing inefficient structures. In some embodiments, virtual hub sequences which have been linked 4645 may also allow users to subscribe 4660. In some embodiments, #PaloSF #SFSaus #SausMarinTerm 4650 may be linked to provide a last mile sequence to a traveler or driver from Palo Alto, Calif. to Marin Terminal in Sausilito, Calif. at a specific address. In some embodiments, virtual hub sequences which have been linked 4650 may also allow users to subscribe 4655.
